Abstract
The rapid development of mobile technology has fuelled growth in the area of wireless Web. Wireless Web technology enables access to information from the World Wide Web on any mobile device: anywhere, anytime. In this chapter, the technologies that make “Wireless Web” a reality are discussed, ranging from mobile communication infrastructure to delivery of Wireless Markup data. The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and the corresponding Wireless Markup Language (WML) are presented with examples. Methods of generating wireless markup including HTML transcoding and XSLT are summarized. The important area of Short Messaging Service (SMS) for mobile originated/terminated message delivery and emergent trends in mobile access to information from the Internet are covered.
